President Duterte Will Give P500-M For New Soldiers Hospital

The government will give P500 million for a new medical facility for soldiers, it will have the best facilities and state-of-the-art facilities to cater the need of our military and it’s wounded personnel.

No more lowest bidder
To make sure the government would get the best value for its money, Duterte said that he will not choose the lowest bid.

Duterte told soldiers at the AFP Medical Center he would make sure that they get the best equipment by doing away with the practice of awarding contracts to the lowest bidder as this has resulted in substandard items delivered to the military.

“The lowest bid is the source of corruption,” he said.

“Everything would be quality, and fast,” the President added.

In the past, the government ended up getting items made in China which easily breaks hence costing more, said the President.

He also said that the troops should thank Budget Secretary Benjamin Diokno for providing the funds for their needs.
